Gun rights advocate: 'Quite possible' Dem president would declare national emergency on gun violence

[DonViejo]

Gun rights advocate John Lott Jr. said in an interview that aired Monday on Hill.TV's "Rising" that a Democratic president would possibly declare a national emergency on gun violence in order to confiscate firearms.

"I'd see that [as] quite possible," Lott Jr., the author of "The War on Guns," told host Buck Sexton last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

"You've seen California, New York, Chicago, and other places in the United States that have already used registration lists that they've had to identify people that owned guns to force them to have to turn them in, and get rid of them," he continued.

"It wouldn't be a stretch at all to see something like that happening nationally," he said.

Congress is set to block President Trump's national emergency at the U.S. southern border with Mexico, after Republican Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) announced he would vote against the declaration, which would provide funding for Trump's long-promised border wall.

1. He's obviously got his information wrong.

Americans love school and other mass shootings. We think it's a great idea that criminals and the mentally ill have unfettered access to weaponry.
